Auto Body Repair in Sacramento, CA
Auto body repair focuses on the exterior of your vehicle — dents, scratches, scrapes, and damaged panels that affect how it looks and how the body fits together. Reyes Auto LLC is a family-owned shop in Sacramento that handles cosmetic and exterior body damage with careful, detailed work.
What Auto Body Repair Addresses
Auto body repair covers cosmetic and exterior damage that doesn't always come from a major accident. That includes dents, scratches, scrapes, damaged panels, and minor impact damage. The goal is to restore the exterior so panels line up correctly, surfaces are smooth, and the finish matches the rest of the vehicle.

How Auto Body Repair Differs From Collision Repair
Auto body repair is about the exterior — dents, scratches, and panels — and is often cosmetic. Collision repair is the broader repair of a vehicle after an accident, which can include structural work and multiple panels along with the body and finish. If your damage came from an accident and may involve more than the exterior, see our collision repair page. If it's cosmetic or exterior damage, auto body repair is the right place to start.
Repair or Replace — How We Decide
Whether a panel can be repaired or needs replacement depends on the type and extent of the damage, the panel's location, and whether a repair can be done without compromising fit or finish. We assess each panel individually and explain the reasoning before moving forward.
Our Approach
As a family-owned, locally owned shop with a small team, we take a personal and meticulous approach to every vehicle. We're transparent about what we find and what the repair will involve. Our focus is on doing the work correctly rather than rushing vehicles through the shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between auto body repair and collision repair?
Auto body repair covers cosmetic and exterior damage — dents, scratches, scrapes, and damaged panels — whether or not it came from a collision. Collision repair is the full, end-to-end restoration after an accident and can include structural work. Auto body repair is often one part of a larger collision repair.

Yes. Reyes Auto LLC works on all makes and models at our Sacramento shop.
Should I bring my vehicle in even for small damage?
Yes. Small damage can affect panel alignment or expose bare metal over time, which can lead to rust. It's worth having it looked at so you know what you're dealing with.
